Meal Planning on a Budget

So I just planned out my meals for the next 5 days and went grocery shopping for everything on it.  I spent $118 on groceries.  I got pumpkin spice oatmeal, a Gatorade, and blackberries that were not on my list so I feel I did really well.  This will feed my family and my daycare for 5 days.  When you stop to think that is approx 20 people with at least 15 eating each meal...that is pretty dang good. I am super excited to see what kind of grocery bill I can create for the next 2 weeks and how much it will cost me.  I am going to do at least 10 freezer meals and 5 non freezer meals.  If I am really thrifty I will do 15 freezer meal kits and 5 non freezer meals.  I will blog about it when I am done ;)
